Prayer & Prozac

by Shari Ponder

Can someone have both strong faith and a strong therapist? Does God approve of non-traditional healing besides just "praying hard enough?" Prayer and Prozac is a weekly podcast that explores tough topics and all of the wonderful ways that God heals and won't send you to hell! We examine the intersection of mental health, emotional well-being, Jesus, healing, the church, and prayer. Prozac is metaphorical. It may be medicine, yoga, mindful meditation, and other alternative therapies. So, join your host Pastor Shari, a licensed local pastor, certified school counselor, M. Ed., M.Div., et al as she and her hosts endeavor to challenge minds and open hearts. Jesus is totally down with it!
